DMX suffered a drug overdose Friday night and is currently in the hospital ... and the prognosis is not good.
Sources close to the rapper tell TMZ, the OD occurred at his home at around 11 PM. Our sources say the overdose triggered a heart attack.
DMX was rushed to a hospital in White Plains, New York and is in the critical care unit. We're told he has "some brain activity." Another source says he's in a "vegetative state" and doctors have cautioned he may not make it.

Eminem may be one of, or even THE best from a technical standpoint. But he never connected to the hood like Pac or DMX did. They talked about real shit. Eminem was basically comedy rap early on.
When the the "Slim Shady LP" dropped people were like, "hahaha look at this goofy white boy".
When "It's Dark and Hell is Hot" dropped, people were like, "damn this shit is hard as fuck". [Reply]

But just not in the same way 2Pac and DMX did.
I should amend mine. There are too many candidates, styles, and eras to have a GOAT. A guy like Kurtis Blow was phenomenal in his day, for instance. [Reply]

Late 2000s a buddy of mine took me to a dude's house to get high before we hit the bars. I'm not a big get-high guy but my buddy sure was. Guy's crib that we went to was DMX. Sat there for half an hour until I bugged my friend to get going. Dude was nice enough but was just another yo on the get-high circuit.
To hear people refer to him as some sort of elevated figure is some funny shit indeed. [Reply]

Kurt Cobain used to go to hood areas to buy his drugs and then would spend days on end in cheap motel rooms in the area getting high out of his mind alone. Everyone has their demons and Kurt is a legend without question imo regardless of his drug use. Same as Jimmy Hendrix and to a lesser extent Amy Winehouse. [Reply]

No doubt everyone has their demons. Cobain I can take or leave but I'd give good American money to have ran with Jimi for a night or two. [Reply]
